The same place more than once
I'm a very weak spanish speaker but I try my best. So for an assignment I am struggling with saying somethings. One in particular is this: He painted the same place more than once. Would it be Él Pintó el mismo lugar más que una vez? Please help me soon, thanks

Yes, and "él" is not strictly necessary. A pleasure. |

I wanted to bring this up again to ask, what tense would I use? The imperfect or just as I have it: the preterit?

The tense you used is a correct translation of what you said in English. The imperfect tense would change the meaning.

Same thing in English.

Yes. It would be OK. But it would depend on the context to use one or the other....just like in your first question in this thread.
What's your native language?
